TDC tip works fine and wire brushes delivered early, so have made a start on cleaning 2 sets of valves. It's hard going, been at it all afternoon and just beginning to see the valves. Have left some cleaning fluid in to soak overnight.
A note for anyone else attempting this. The Inlet Manifold connection was a real pain to disconnect, but on the bench it's easier to see how it comes off, Press in the tabs at the side and Twist the connector Anti Clockwise.
I decided to install a Catch Can, I know it won't solve the inlet valve issue altogether but will help, after this clean I'll leave it about 20k miles and probably have someone else clean them with walnut blasting. I won't bother with any cleaner via the air intake. I don't want to risk a future problem from the crankcase retaining oil & water, I know it's probably a small/very small risk but that's me.
I removed the pipe from the PCV Valve, (Inlet manifold end already off). Have a Catch Can and hoses now ordered to be delivered tomorrow. Looks like it will mount nicely beside the washer bottle.
